Amebic liver abscess. An unusual presentation.
Amebic liver abscess responds readily to appropriate therapy, but diagnosis may be difficult. In the case described, the patient's signs and symptoms were atypical, suggesting a hematologic malignancy. The correct diagnosis was made only after ultrasound revealed a mass in the liver.
